This isn't a question just some advice if you're worried about stretch marks I honestly recommend drinking lots of water about and juice. Soda can make you gain weight to fast. So maybe try organic stuff, less salt, and less sugar. Home cooked meals is the best because microwave food has a lot of bad stuff for the baby.
Also for stretch marks even if you're only 5 weeks pregnant start rubbing stretch mark stuff on belly asap because then you're body will be super ready once it starts stretching.
Vitamins are so important specially if you want you baby to be smart so iron & DHA!!
Also if you don't want to be in labor for 14 hours or more lol then I would suggest working out and walking. I'm about to be 4 months and I work out and walk for a mile. That way it helps you be in labor for probably 4 hours :)

I do agree with the labor part. Walking helped me tons, I went for a walk of minimum of 30 minutes every single day when I was pregnant. My labor ended up being 7 and a half hours. First baby as well,

Stretch marks aren't preventable.. they are genetic.. but yes exercising and walking does help you have an easier delivery.

Stretch marks can be preventable! :) my mom didn't get them her first 2 kids. Then she kinda just lost herself and got pregnant later and didn't watch what she ate. Like she loved soda. So gaining a lot of weight fast during her pregnancy she got them. She lost weight now tho. But yah it may also be genetic but that doesn't mean you're gonna get them or always gonna get them. Just
preparing your skin for it to stretch by increasing the elasticity is super good. So coco butter, bio oil and any other stuff is good. I mean I'm not saying hey if you do this and that you're not going to get it. Cause it doesn't matter about the size you already are it's about the big change that's gonna happen so fast that you wanna be ready for the changes.
But if you do thoes things your increasing the chances of possibly not getting it in the areas where you dont want it or decreasing the chances of it being huge marks :)
